Android Stuff

I recently purchased a Samsung I7500 "Galaxy" (Android) phone to replace my Samsung i600 "European BlackJack" (Windows mobile) one - now the excitement of just pawing the thing is starting to wear off, so I thought I'd record a log of all the silly things I need to do to get it working as I want:

Essential Apps that should come pre-loaded:

Barcode Scanner (plays up a bit with the Galaxy flash and autofocus, but OK when the product to be scanned is placed on a flat matt surface)

FTP Application (so far trying AndFTP)

VNC Application (so far working well with androidVNC)

File Browser

ES File Explorer - Samba / Windows network client

Astro - root folder visibility

Silent Time - silence on schedule or for limited time (why not also on meetings? Is that already in the OS or something?)

APNdroid - disable/enable mobile internet access (cost control)

Random Cool apps I'll keep:

Sky Map - like it says, look at constellations & stuff.

Battery Status Free - look at the Battery usage history etc (but need to place the widget somewhere on your home screen)

UberColorPickerDemo - get color codes in a very cool interface

Apps On Trial

Check Redirect

RegEx Matcher

LapStop

GeoPicker

Compass (works ok I guess, but I would think there is better)

ConnectBot

FlashLight (so trivial I feel like making my own :))

G-Force (good idea, bad implementation)

Object Browser (I thought it was some sort of reflection tool allowing analysis of existing programs, not sure now)

Text Edit (looking for a better one but this is quite good)

Telnet

Smart Vibrator - vibration patterns?

Snake (just not v good...)

ViewSource (MUST be able to get something integrated with browser...?)
